Hi all,
I would like to know it is is possible to embed a Custom Action (type 2) in a
WiX 3.x Patch (.msp file).
I base my work on the following example:
* http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx
I enthusiastically added my custom action to the existing fragment:
{{{
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<Patch AllowRemoval="no"
Manufacturer="corp"
MoreInfoURL="http://www.dummy.com/";
DisplayName="prod"
Description="prod descr"
Classification="Update">
<Media Id="5000" Cabinet="RTM.cab">
<PatchBaseline Id="RTM"/>
</Media>
<PatchFamilyRef Id="UpdatePatchFamily" />
</Patch>
<Fragment>
<PatchFamily Id="UpdatePatchFamily" Version="2.0.0.35">
<ComponentRef Id="SampleComponent"/>
</PatchFamily>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="DoIt" Sequence="1301" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<Binary Id="myDLL" SourceFile="mydll.dll" />
<CustomAction Id="DoIt"
BinaryKey="myDLL"
DllEntry="MyFunction"
Return="check" />
</Fragment>
</Wix>
}}}
When compiling such file, I obtain the following errors:
{{{
C:\DRIVER\msi_builder> light.exe "NEXThink myPatch.wixobj" -out "myPatch.wixmsp"
Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Linker version 3.0.2925.0

C:\DRIVER\msi_builder\myPatch.wxs(34) : error LGHT0241 :
An unexpected row in the 'Binary' table was found in this patch.
Patches cannot contain the 'Binary' table.
C:\DRIVER\msi_builder\myPatch.wxs(36) : error LGHT0241 :
An unexpected row in the 'CustomAction' table was found in this patch.

C:\DRIVER\msi_builder\myPatch.wxs(31) : error LGHT0241 :
An unexpected row in the 'InstallExecuteSequence' table was found in this
patch.
Patches cannot contain the 'InstallExecuteSequence' table.
}}}
So I guess it won't be possible to add CustomAction's to my patch. However, I
would like to have a confirmation by experienced WiX users and/or advices.
Thanks, best regards,
--J.
